Authorities said Leigh Swanson, 45, was last seen on Nov. 17. Swanson's family tells TV5 she was going out on a date with a new man she met through an online dating website.

Swanson's family has reached out to the man she went on the date with, but they say he was rude and hung up the phone. Now they say that man has disconnected his phone, and they're afraid something has happened to her.

I feel so bad for this family that they are struggling to get the media and PD to help get the word out that their loved one is missing.

From comments:AlisonExcuse me but we have been trying to get the word out for over a week now about her but the cops were not helping us until we got TV5 involved. So please do not judge my family until you know the entire story Deanna!

Saginaw Township Police are working with Midland County Sheriff deputies looking for a missing woman. Relatives say Leigh Swanson who was last seen November 18th. Officers say the 45-year-old Saginaw woman was said to have gone on a date with a Midland man she met through an on-line dating service.

MIDLAND, MI — Police investigating the disappearance of a 45-year-old Saginaw Township woman have recovered bodies of a man and woman during the course of the investigation, Midland County Sheriff Jerry Nielsen announced Wednesday, Nov. 28.

At the home on Tuesday, Nov. 27, deputies found the body of a 28-year-old man believed to have committed suicide, Nielsen said.

They later found a woman’s body, which has not yet been identified, in a wooded area nearby the same property, he said.

“We’ve obviously got investigators out there,” Nielsen said. “We do not have a positive identification.”

As two deputies arrived at the home, Nielsen said, they heard a loud “boom.”

A man came out of the house, according to the sheriff, and told deputies, “My son just shot himself.”

Nielsen said the cause of death for the unidentified woman, whose body was found in the woods of an adjoining property, has not yet been determined.

He declined to release any further details about the identity of the man whose body was found inside the home.

Swanson set up the date through MeetMe.com, according to a report from WNEM TV5.

Police investigating the disappearance of a Saginaw Township woman were waiting to confirm the identity of a woman's body found Wednesday afternoon in Midland County's Edenville Township. The body was found near the home of a man who shot himself to death Tuesday as Midland County Sheriff deputies approached his house. The home's phone number was the last one 45-year-old Leigh Swanson had used to call her mother, two days after she left her Saginaw Township home November 16th to go on a date with a man she'd met online.

EDENVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Central Michigan authorities searching for a woman who disappeared on a date with a man she met online say a man killed himself as deputies arrived at his house, and a woman’s body was found nearby Wednesday.

The body was found in Edenville Township but wasn’t immediately identified as the missing woman, Leigh Swanson, Midland County Sheriff Jerry Nielsen said during a news conference that was originally called to seek clues in the search for Swanson.

It was postponed for 20 minutes after the body was discovered.

In the house, deputies found a 28-year-old man dead from a gunshot wound. Nielsen withheld the name of the dead man. They also found human blood in another part of the house, he said.

.Autopsy set for today on body found in Edenville Twp. woods November 29, 2012 11:10 am

An autopsy on the body that was found in a wooded area near an Edenville Township home where a suicide took place Tuesday is taking place today.

Midland County Sheriff Jerry Nielsen said it is hoped the autopsy will result in identification of the body, which is that of a woman.

The body was found at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on wooded land in Edenville Township by sheriff’s deputies who were investigating the case of Leigh Catherine Swanson, 45, of Saginaw Township, who has been missing since Nov. 16.

As of now local media is not saying if the 28 year old is a suspect. One story did say that the police were looking at him. Strange story. The guy that she rented a room from said he did not know about this date. The 28 year old's dad was apparently out of town the week before hunting. I will keep an eye out for more information.
